商品簡介
Take Time For Paradise is a philosophical musing on sports and play; the final book by distinguished scholar and avid baseball fan Bart Giamatti, published upon his death and, at last, back in print.
Inspiring and deeply appealing, the book places baseball in the context of American life, beginning with Giamatti's conviction that our use of free time tells us something important about who we are. He explores the concept of leisure, American-style, and in baseball, the quintessential American game, he finds its ultimate expression.
Sports and leisure are our "reiteration of the hunger for paradise—for a freedom untrammeled," writes Giamatti. Filled with truths about ritual, self-betterment, home, faith, and community, Take Time for Paradise gives us much more than baseball. The sport's most eloquent devotee delivers a reverent celebration of the sport he loved, the country that created it, and life lived to its fullest.
